Ingredients
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ batch ground beef for taco meat
- ½ batch chipotle aioli (use sour cream, instead of mayonnaise)
- ½ cup cherry tomato chopped
- 1 avocado chopped, haas
- Optional cilantro chopped (for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Prepare the Easy Taco Meat, according to the recipe. You will only need ½ of the batch, so you can either freeze the rest or use it in a Taco Salad.
- Prepare ½ batch of Chipotle Aioli, replacing the mayonnaise with sour cream. If you'd rather just make a whole batch, you can use the leftovers over a taco salad.
- Working in batches, add about 2 tablespoons of the cheese, to a microwave safe plate lined with parchment paper, into 2 piles and microwave for 50 seconds. Test one first, to make sure that 50 seconds works for your model microwave.
- Using a small silicone spatula, remove each pile and gently place into a mini muffin pan. Once the cheese is cool enough to touch, form it into a cup using the end of the spatula handle. Work quickly, because they harden in seconds!
- Allow to cool while you work on the remaining cups. Once the cups have cooled, fill each cup with the taco meat, some of the tomatoes and dollop the chipotle aioli over the top. Then top with a piece of avocado. Garnish with some of the (optional) cilantro and serve.
